Tug Info


We are looking at buying a bigger van any thing from 17-20FT

mow my car a forester will not pull a van that size, but the BOSS likes driving it so will keep that

what would you buy to pull a bigger van with second hand a nd not to expencive its only to pull the van  it might only do about 5000k a year

i was looking at a land rover till i saw the fuel thy want to drink But thy are cheap to buy ,I know not all of us are driving new its the ones that are on using older tugs  i would like to hear from

 

Thank

Hi David. My tug is only about 3 months old now so does it come into your idea of old?

If not I can't comment so won't but I think you will know what I would say if I was to comment but because I can't, this post is not here and you are seeing sings mate biggrin

What ever you decide on with the tug and the den just enjoy playing with them both when in the playground.

As you would not need the tug for a shopping trolley, I'd go for something like a MQ or GQ Nissan Patrol with the 4.2 diesel motor either turbo or N/A. They are pretty bulletproof and for around $10-15000 you can buy one with about 400,000km on it.
Good Luck

I just brought a gq patrol flat tray 4.2 diesel for $6000, spent another $1000 on it straight away and will need new springs in the back end before towing. The tray will need replacement in the future as it has a rusty deck. The body and chassis are rust free and only had 247000km on the clock.
